French Bistro Classics (Dessert Cooking Class)

Do you always check the dessert on the menu first, when you dine out? If so, this French Bistro Dessert cooking class is for you!  It is always tantalising for me to select the desserts for this ‘dream’ dessert menu.

Desserts are everyone’s favourite. In these classes you cook some classic French dishes such as Chocolate Concorde mousse and meringue cake; apple or pear tart tatin, oeufs à la neige, snow eggs or by another name, île flottante, floating islands; petit lemon and meringue tarts; vanilla bean and passionfruit bavarois, crème brûlée, chocolate délice mousse cake, soufflés, classic crème caramel, savarin, rum baba, passionfruit roulade, clafoutis….and so the list goes on…we will also include the occasional petit fours such as madeleines and canelés.

All classes are small, hands-on, relaxed, fun and informative.  You are welcomed with a tea, coffee, cold drink and a cake or biscuit made in-house in the Cooking on the Bay kitchen. You take home a comprehensive recipe booklet of all the recipes we cooked in class, plus cooking extra hints and tips.

Everything you need is provided for the class. At the end of the cooking class, you dine at the table with wine; you relax, enjoy and savour the food you cooked in the morning’s class. 

There will be some tastings to take home, for sure, so I ask you to bring some containers and a freezer bag for your extra goodies.
